Blankees

I have been cleaning or you may call it rearranging things.   Many years ago after suffering some water damage to things that were stored in our basement, I became a Rubbermaid kind of gal.    By that, I mean I had everything stored in Rubbermaid containers.    And I do mean E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.   And because we didn't have any children.....yet.   I was very anal in my storing things.   Every container was itemized!   There was a index card on the outside of the container that was kept inside of a ziplock baggie.    Everything was listed.

We moved from Edmond, KS to Wichita and my things were easy to find and my containers kept the bugs, the moisture, and the stuff clean!   I bought containers that were all the same size and they stacked so easily.

Then we moved to Keller, TX.   All was well until Mark took a job back in our home state of Kansas.   Not only did I have to leave a job that I loved!!    When the movers came to pack...unbeknowst to myself...they took things out of my itemized, well kept, well organized containers and packed them into boxes!     They then stacked all the containers together...with the ziplock baggy still hanging on the side.    Ackkkkkkkk!!   Did they have any idea of what they had done to me??!!    I have never gotten over that.    I have never been able to get my life back to organized as it was.   I am again trying....please pray for me!

I hope to have a garage sale for a few hours Saturday morning.   I need to move out some clothes that we have an abundance of.    I am calling it the mostly $.50 cent sale.   Just about all the clothes will be
$.50 each.

So the point of this post...other than to make everyone think I am really anal...I am.     During my re-organization plan I came across a blanket that I had made for RaeAnne before she was home with us.   I have one of those names that you can never find spelled right on many things.    Our daughter's have the same problem.   Especially RaeAnne and ZoraLin with our play of capitals in their names.   So when I found this great site for crochet blankets with your child's name throughout the blanket...spelled right.   Well, I just couldn't resist!!   That blanket has been put away.   I know why have it if they can't use it.  I didn't want it all snagged up...sorry!    So RaeAnne was snuggling with her blankee today and now I have a couple of others who want to know where is their blanket??

This is the company Blankees and I will probably be ordering a small one for each of the girls.   Oh the things we do for our children!!   Let me count the ways I love you....
